Description: Special screening of Con Artist (2009, 87min) at UnionDocs in Williamsburg.
An official selection at the 2009 Tribeca and Hamptons Film Festivals, CON ARTIST examines the controversial, contradictory, greedy, and shamelessly self-promoting pop artist Mark Kostabi. A fast and funny “docu-comedy of art, celebrity, fortune, fakery, and the American Dream,” it’s also a must for fans of the city’s art/punk/hip hop boom in the ’80s.
A special discussion and q&a with director Michael Sladek follows the 7:30 screening.
Details: Friday, 1/15, 7:30pm
There is a suggested donation of $7 at the door, but we recommend getting advance tix through the UNIONDOCS site (official trailer is up here too), as the screening room is quite cozy.
